Sounds like a "DEAD" end job. HA HA. Had to do it BABA. Did you put in the part where you have to work 100 days in a row?

60K max to live anywhere near Westchester. Unreal.

[Bababoosky 24]

60K is not including shift differential and holiday pay.

Again not mention all the Carry Downs you have to do in Yonkers, Ossining, Peeskill, Mt Vernon, New Ro and so on. Probably with no help from anyone. That sounds like it is worth 60K. LOL
